Today is October 11- Myths and Legends Day in Cephalapod Days. There are many interesting ones, starting with the
snake stones/ ammonites or
cephalopod fossils. This makes reading about
Amun,
Ammonoidea,
horned deities, the
Horned God and of course
ink, absolutely essential. So, check out the e-inky linkys.
One of the more interesting-- and lesser known-- legends, is that of AgaWomammita, the older sister of two-faced Ikenga. She spent her days in quiet contemplation of nature, pixels and pictures. She also studied the origins of fire.
